I thought about an open source alternative.

BTW, I am testing a demo version of teamdrive right now. MSWord (2002) crashes sometimes if it tries to save a document.

Has someone experience with webdrive vs. teamdrive on zope?

Hi Thomas,

I have tried the trial versions of both Webdrive and Teamdrive on a NT 4.0 SP 6 workstation. Webdrive seemed to work with no problems, but Teamdrive caused frequent bluescreens, which stopped after I deinstalled it. This probably says more about NT than Teamdrive however, as I have to reinstall NT about every 3 or 4 months to keep everthing else working.

Both get even more unstable if you have an virus-scanner installed. WebDrive and Teamdrive are NT-IFS (Internal File Systems) and virus scanner use Filter Drivers which catch the read and write access to the drive. It is very likely that this causes trouble. At least with kaspersky anti virus. I am not good in organizing, but one solution would be to collect money to sponsor the development by a company or a good developer who is specialized in writing NT-IFS. OK, I am just dreaming, I think this will never happen. thomas
